in the time since obama has been president. the ratio between white and hispanic wealth is now 15 to 1. stimulating the economy, expanding welfare programs and government aid has done nothing to lower poverty levels among blacks and hispanics. it's something a few black thought leaders have tried to tackle. they say that the obama administration has ignored the plight of blacks and the poor in favor of corporate welfare and business interests. this is where conservatives should redirect their attention. a compassionate message combined with empowering and provocative economic policies would be good for the country, good for the poor, and good for the conservative brand. it wasn't that long ago that republicans like jack kemp, newt gingrich, and george w. bush relentlessly advocated for solving poverty. if republicans are smart they will shake off the dust from the democrats war on women campaign. martin, it's all yours. >> it's tuesday february 19th, and republicans, republicans, where for art thou republicans? the president has a message for you. >> if congress allows this meat cleave
